Scenarios describe plausible and internally consistent views of the future. They can be used by scientists, policymakers entrepreneurs to explore challenges global environmental change given an appropriate level spatial sectoral detail systematic development. We followed a nine-step protocol extend enrich set scenarios - Shared Socio-economic Pathways (SSPs) providing regional for European agriculture food systems using one-to-one nesting participatory approach. The resulting five...
Moving towards a more sustainable future requires concerted actions, particularly in the context of global climate change. Integrated assessments agricultural systems (IAAS) are considered valuable tools to provide sound information for policy and decision-making. IAAS use storylines define socio-economic environmental framework assumptions. While set qualitative storylines, known as Shared Socio-economic Pathways (SSPs), is available inform integrated at large scales, their spatial...
To meet global demands towards food security, safety as well sustainable agriculture and systems innovative approaches are inevitable. Despite the growing body of literature in both innovation research values aims, what has been explored to a lesser extent is bridging link between these areas. This study represents first step addressing this relationship. Policy- decision-makers foster agriculture, since on-farm adoption have attracted their attention means enhancing competitiveness socially...
Abstract Agriculture is central to sustainable development both from provisioning and pressure perspectives. It hence imperative measure its diverse outcomes, for which various global indicator systems have been developed. Yet, these come with trade‐offs, example, between comparability among countries versus specificity national context. This poses the question how relevant generic indicators are stakeholders specific information requirements can be integrated within a globally comparable...

Purpose After several reforms of the common agricultural policy, domestic product prices and farm incomes have become more volatile in EU. Risk-averse farmers are therefore seeking income stabilizing measures. Margin insurance is among feasible options but not yet established The purpose this paper to explore such an under EU conditions for a major crop. Design/methodology/approach explores viable margin insurance. It presents modeled-loss trigger scheme using wheat production Austria as...
Due to its topography, Austria is exposed many natural hazards. Inadequate spatial planning aggravates exposure risks, 12% of all buildings are potentially flooding almost 9% considered be at an extreme risk. Reinforcing precautionary measures a prerequisite for efficient risk management system that will ready meet future challenges. In the Austrian government's relief payments after catastrophic events should substituted by broad (mostly compulsory) insurance against The strong involvement...
Improving market access and opportunities for value addition small-scale food producers family farms properly functioning commodity markets are among the objectives of Sustainable Development Goals. Market structure concentration important aspects that could make this goal attainable. In a case study, we explore current conditions pork beef farmers in Austrian meat by combining quantitative approach with qualitative inquiries.

Summary Recently, several studies compared the performance of conventional and organic farms. Most concentrated on technical efficiency. In this paper we add to literature by also comparing scale efficiency milk farms in Austria during period 1997-2002. To do so utilize a bilateral production frontier that includes both technologies Green’s (1995a,b) true fixed effects model account for firm specific timeinvariant heterogeneity inefficiency. We find groups be average equally efficient (when...
